JANUARY 2018 - MONTHLY FORECAST FOR CAPRICORN

Dear Capricorns

It is all over the news- your ruler Saturn is back in Capricorn, in his sign of dignity and here to stay for the next 3 years. This homecoming is a big cause for celebration for all of you who have waited for a long 29 years. And to add to this celebration, this New year, the sign of Capricorn is hosting a sort of party, with Pluto, Moon and Mercury, all joining in to welcome Saturn back home, in the third house-this could well be a warm neighborhood affair, or with close friends and siblings especially, playing an important role in the fun.

Since Saturn and Pluto together are involved, we can redefine the word neighborhood to include even neighboring countries to co-operate, and we will see them working together more harmoniously on projects that can have mutual benefit.

This is an especially good time for capital projects requiring co-operation between multiple groups or guilds, building and construction, especially of recreational parks, neighborhood centers and services,  re-building and recycling ( which Pluto is very good at) and for reconnecting on any projects that were left incomplete in previous years, which have to do with learning and teaching. Also for any form of writing, if you are an author or poet, and for matters that need haste and a quick turn around, in such professions as couriers, telecommunications, and the postal service. This influence can feel like there is rather a lot of fuss and attention to something fairly mundane and routine, but this influence will transform the way how something has always been done, usually for the better. This could even be the time that an important invention gets adopted in these areas, thanks to a helpful aspect between Uranus in Aries and Saturn in Capricorn. It could be an innovation of a teaching method which then becomes universally adopted.

CAREER AND MONEY

This month Capricorns, the spotlight is on home, family and people who are really close to you. Having said that, your 5th house of creativity is receiving a lot of dreamy vibes from Neptune and Chiron who are stimulating food for thought on how you could use a compassionate and creative streak to unpackage a great many solutions, or answers. You could be working on a very serious project, one that concerns people's lives or a project which has been going on for a very long time. This is the time to bring these to fruition or if you are a teacher, you could hand them over to those whom you have identified in these past years as deserving of the custodianship of these matters. You yourself will want to rest for a period of time and get started on thinking about how you will spend the next 3 years come July 2018. Cardinal Cancer is on the cusp of the MC and your career is on a good swing right now and all it needs are well-timed actions that you will be ready with come July 2018.

Money wise, income has shifted from solely being part of a flow to a more generative outlook for you. You are thinking about ways to generate it in the future and not merely be a part of an ecosystem that may or may not be sustainable. While you have your thinking hat on, opportunities that come, thanks to Jupiter in the second house should be considered and the benefit of these will help you shore up support for your own ideas, in the near future. Aries on the descendant spells energy and movement for those considering venturing out on their own, promising great adventures, many significant encounters of a lasting nature which will further the ideas you start with. Watery Scorpio hosting Mars and Jupiter in a fixed sign supports your generative and sustainable ideas with its witty and intuitive and energetic beams, while the True Node in Leo emphasizes a positive approach in turn supported by the Ascendant in Libra- bringing balance and harmony to how you perceive yourself and how others see you.

LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

This is a great time for earthy bonding in relationships. It is a time to come together, to communicate, to use your hands in some way to express what you truly desire and wish to create for yourself. Rituals that involve the body, cleansing, even indulging in earthly treats which are rich and luxurious are in store, in special moments that have been picked out for you. You need to be open in your heart to embrace these things. Its also means your mind is quieter and your senses are perceiving, a time to tune into finer sensibilities. Your attention moves to the magic inherent in all things, but you can be swayed to other people's opinions, which you should be cautious about. It is good to test your ideas but be sure that the ideas that you have carefully built up from the ground are good enough, will stand the test of time and you shouldn't be anxious in any way over how your partnerships will respond to them. It is time to step up when the opportunity arises and take people through your visions and in the meantime, keep working at it diligently, as you do. Timing is very important in relationships and Saturn in Capricorn will teach us all about how being in tune with another is all about being in sync with their psychological time. We will all learn about how this goes a long way in harmonizing communication and bring a magical quality of attunement with our own goals and what is best for us.

Important long term influences here are the cardinal 6 month transit of the Sun through Cancer in 2018. Read more on the specific chart points at cafeastrology.com

Saturn leaves Libra on October 5, 2012 and moves into Scorpio.

Saturn in Scorpio: An Angel in Devil's Clothing If you're a Libra, or any other Cardinal sign for that matter (Aries, Cancer, Capricorn), you might be heaving a sigh of relief over the news that Saturn has left Libra for good on October 5. Saturn in Astrology is the planet that represents lessons and limitations. He teaches us through stringent guidelines, and (whether we like it or not) in order to grow we must abide. Saturn is the stern parent that says "As long as you're living under my roof, you're going to do it my way." We have all been there. And as much as we've wanted to move out and go it alone, we knew we had to suck it up because the truth was that we just weren't ready to be on our own. We had to learn a few more lessons first. That's Saturn's job. He targets areas you're weak in and forces you to take a responsible, no nonsense, grown up approach as you handle the situation. The bad news? He does not offer a free...

SPECIAL MOON CALENDAR FOR 2018-2019

Dear Reader I'm a big fan of following the lunar calendars of the world and constantly refer 2 to 3 different ones to find moon positions. Being a student and teacher of astrology, exact positions of planets, especially of the moon becomes very significant, for all purposes of astrology and other related disciplines. For the longest time, I have noticed that Vedic calendars do not include the signs of moon transit, example, Moon in Taurus on so and so days. Conversely, the western ephemeris of the moon has never charted the Vedic nakshatras or 27 lunar mansions, aka asterisms of the moon, in the same document. Researching on this topic, we find that there are 2 systems in practice today, which are the 27 asterisms and the 28 asterisms. What is 12* 51’ 3/7 = 360 divided by 28 days. That number is 12.8571428571428 7 days multiplied by 4 weeks = 28 days How many hours does the moon’s movement through each nakshartha take, in Sun hours? We know the moon takes 2 and a...

VENUS CONJUNCT CHIRON: A SONG FOR YOU

Dear reader I've decided to write a special blog focusing only on the very interesting transit of Venus in Pisces this month March 2018. Venus transits all the signs as she moves in the zodiac, and arrived in her sign of exaltation which is Pisces on February 17, 2018. From what I observe, there was an exact conjunction of Venus and Chiron in 27' Pisces around exactly 5th March 2018, where Chiron has been. Chiron being a slower moving planet, from our point of view on Earth, has been in Pisces since April 2010. 27* Pisces is the exact degree of exaltation for Venus in Pisces. Most astrologers will consider a planet as being exalted anywhere in the sign, but each planet is actually fully exalted in a particular degree of the 30 degrees. What are the odds that this conjunction of Chiron with exalted Venus happens to be in the exact 27' degree of Pisces? Once in forever. So , pay attention. I have long been a fan of classical interpretations of Venus by artists lik...
